Embodiment Construction

[0072]An embodiment according to the present technology is hereinafter described with reference to the drawings.

[Channel Scanning by Ordinary One Seg Terminal]

[0073]Discussed initially is channel scanning by an ordinary one seg terminal corresponding to a conventional receiving terminal for receiving ordinary one seg broadcasting.

[0074]FIG. 1 is a flowchart describing channel scanning performed by the ordinary one seg terminal.

[0075]In step 11, the ordinary one seg terminal selects a physical channel having the lowest frequency, for example, as one physical channel included in physical channels in a range from 13 to 52 channels in UHF band, and determines the selected channel as a target physical channel corresponding to a processing target. Then, the process proceeds to step S12.

[0076]In step S12, the ordinary one seg terminal selects a center segment of the target physical channel. Then, the process proceeds to step S13.

[0077]In step S13, the ordinary one seg terminal determines w...

Abstract

The present technology relates to a receiver, a receiving method, and a program capable of rapidly presenting receivable one segment broadcasting.A station information obtaining unit obtains service area information used for selecting a service of broadcasting provided by a station which is included in stations transmitting broadcasting waves of the broadcasting at an arbitrary segment and transmits broadcasting waves receivable at a predetermined position. A station selecting unit selects a station transmitting broadcasting waves receivable at a predetermined position as a selectable station which is selectable based on the service area information. A channel selection control unit performs channel selection control for selecting the service of the broadcasting provided by the selectable station. The present technology is applicable to a portable receiving terminal for receiving one seg broadcasting, for example.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present technology relates to a receiver, a receiving method, and a program, and more particularly to a receiver, a receiving method, and a program capable of rapidly presenting receivable one segment broadcasting.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In terrestrial digital broadcasting, a frequency band (hereinafter referred to as physical channels as well) of approximately 6 MHz in UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band is divided into 13 segments. Broadcasting for fixed terminals such as television receivers is provided by using 12 segments included in the 13 segments. Broadcasting for portable terminals, i.e., one segment broadcasting (hereinafter referred to as one seg broadcasting as well) is provided by using the remaining one segment.[0003]One seg broadcasting currently provided as broadcasting for portable terminals includes the same contents as the contents of broadcasting for fixed terminals, and uses the central segment in the 13 segments of a physical channel (seventh s...
